Pat Steir: Endless Line and Self Portrait

The Newcomb Art Gallery is proud to present a site-specific wall drawing installation by internationally renowned artist Pat Steir. Tulane University art studio students will directly assist with the execution of these two large-scale works, Self Portrait and Endless Line.

Since the mid-1980s, Steir has been known for her dripped waterfall imagery, which reveal her affinity for nineteenth-century Romanticism, Abstract Expressionism, and Chinese landscape painting. An equally significant, yet lesser known, part of her oeuvre are wall drawings and site-specific installations.

Steir’s work may be found in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art; The Museum of Modern Art; the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; the San Francisco Museum of Fine Arts; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; the Tate Gallery, London; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY.
